State of Indiana } Application of Daniel Farbu. Jay County to Wit, } of said County for a Pension
The Following are in part the Reasons Why Daniel Farbu has not previously Applied for a Pension To Wit:
1 st Untill the Year 1838. the said Farbu was in Moderate Circumstances and able to live without the aid of a Pension. And his understanding was that unless a person was wholly destitute of the means of living otherwise, the Pension law would not award him any aid, consequently he did not sooner apply.
2 nd In 1833. he came to what is now Jay County. Then not Organized and no regular Courts. Untill 1839. in which Year he employed an attorney to arrange the business for him but his Attorney knowing nothing of the mode of doing such business proceeded wrong, and finally after continuing the application failed to attend the Court and the matter failed without an effort. 3 rd Owing to misfortune he has been unable to employ any person to attend to the matter for him. Untill lately he has obtained the aid of kind friends, who have taken the matter in hand. And he now hopes that the Government will hear this his Appeal, and bestow upon him the small pittance which the benign laws of his Country have so justly declared his due,

Dear Madam:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 3432, that Daniel Farber was born March 4, 1765, in Morris County, New Jersey.
In 1833, he removed to the State of Indiana, that part which was later Jay County, and while residing in said Jay County, he applied for pension June 13, 1840, and alleged that he enlisted at Morristown, New Jersey, March 15, 1781, and served as a private in Captain John Howell's Company, Colonel Seeley's New Jersey Regiment; that he was at the Siege of Yorktown, where he received two severe wounds, one in the head and one in the breast, and at the taking of Cornwallis and that he was discharged in March, 1784.
His claim was not allowed as he failed to furnish satisfactory proof of the alleged service as was required by the pension laws.
In 1843, he was residing in Wayne Township, Jay County, Indiana.
He died February 21, 1847, in Preble County, Ohio, while on his way to his home in Jay County, Indiana, and was buried by the Trustees of Jefferson Township, Preble County, Ohio.
He left surviving him a widow, Nancy, whose maiden name is not given, nor the date of their marriage. In 1852, she was residing in Portland, Jay County, Indiana. He also left the following children: Lewis S. Farber, who in 1854, was a resident of Adams County, Indiana; Philip Farber; John Farber; Nancy Jane, wife of James Brice; Catharine, wife of William Connor; and Lucinda E. who married John Binings or Vining.

File No. 3,422,) applied for pension June 12, 1840, at which time he resided in Wayne Township, Jay County, Indiana.

He died February 21, 1847-in preble County, Ohio, leaving a widow Nancy and the following children who were alive in 1853, Lewis S., Philip and John Farber, Nancy Jane who married James Brice, Catharine who married William Connor, and Lucinda E., who married John Binings or Vining .
This claim was not allowed for the reason that he was unable to furnish satisfactory proof of his alleged service.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

You correctly infer that the difficulty relates to the genuine- ness of a reputed discharge — The internal evidence of the paper condemns it as proof, and he must therefore prove his alleged ser- vice in the New Jersey Line in 1781 by the archives in the office of the Secy of that State —

The add d papers in the case of Daniel Farber have been examined & filed.
This claim was asserted for a service in N.Y. which from his description of it corresponds in no respect with any service with which this Dept t is acquainted and is supported by a spurious discharge. The deposition of Blackford is also believed to be at spurious as the signature of the Deacon & the justice is in the same handwriting - and the body of his deposition merely repeats the allegation.
He has no claim whatever.

I refer you to the affidavits and the letter accompanying it that the facts as to his claim is that your department suppose his discharge to be spurious! If that be so, it would seem from the affidavits already that it is entirely spurious as it has long been in the papers of Mr. Furlong.

Sir,
The papers filed by you in support of a claim for pension of Mrs. Nancy Farber, widow of Daniel Farber, an alleged revolutionary soldier, have been examined, and compared with those filed by him in his lifetime.
Upon examining his papers and the correspondence to which they gave rise, it is found that they contain no evidence whatever of service. The Discharge to which you refer has been repudiated as spurious, three several times by the Office & as many agents who have, at different times, been engaged in the prosecution of his claim.
It is believed there is no foundation for this claim.
